I will miss writing as it was a dream from my schooldays to be a writer, but the truth of the matter is I can't afford the costs of publication, and no publisher wants what I write as I don't write about zombies or sex, so my unfinished stories www.alsdominion.co.uk/home/alan-places-unwritten-storieswill remain unfinished.

Herbal Teas only

It is a good thing I enjoy herbal teas as they are all I can drink now; coffee will dry my throat and induce a coughing bout, so from now on I am not drinking coffee for the first time since I got introduced to the beverage by some US airmen back in 1985 at RAF Lossiemouth ​www.alsdominion.co.uk/home/raf-lossiemouth.

Issue a vote of No Confidence.

Since the Brexit vote two years ago, I have always thought the UK would be tied to the EU, no matter how the election went and I have been proved correct the vote was no more than a BrexitScam.The longer Theresa May stalled in pulling us out, the more I am sure we would stay in the corrupt EU.

Who would have thought that MPs with bank accounts in foreign countries would be willing to give them up for Brexit?

The worst part is that she stalled long enough to turn a vote to leave into a vote to stay because people have become tired of her lies; months after the election, the percentage voting for the UK to go climbed from a slight majority of 54% to nearly 80%.I cannot comprehend why people wish to stay in the EU as we are paying over £54 billion a year to keep Germany from going bankrupt.

Satanic Verses.

Recently, I have been considering ending my tenure as a writer by writing a Devil Worship short story, as I have not done this type of story even if my the first reputation I earned was for ghost stories.

Two years ago, I helped a Polish photographer succeed with his KickStarter project, my gift of thanks is a set of photos using his models; the girl with the sword is one of those girls. Many of the girls, thought pretty, did not appeal to me as they were too thin. I was going to use some of the photos as book covers, but all of that is in the past.

I had not done this genre before for no reason other than I didn't think I could write a story about devil worship; it has nothing to do with my Christian upbringing or my religious beliefs.

No greater fool than I was born or bred.

During my short, fortunately, time on the German site Bookrix, I earned a rep for playing the fool and being a joker. I played the role so well that few people to this day, now the truth behind the mask.

As I used to say "Is not the fool the most honest part to play, for being the fool, you can say what you like, and people will take your words as a joke. Was it not the fool in King Lear who warned the king of the duplicity of his daughters."

It did help in as much as the fool role allowed me to tell some of the "elitist writers" who thought they were better than me what I thought of them. All but the sites admin section shared my opinion of them.

To the end of my days on the site, I kept playing the part of the fool, and few realized the role hid my pain as much as my dark humor. Reading about the success of others, in the beginning, was a driving force but as time wore on, my failure became the cross I had to bear and not tell anyone.

In later years, a man playing the fool gave Katherine Janeway the opportunity to escape getting captured in Star Trek Voyager.

At the close of the decade, I have found a way to live with my failures; there is no greater fool than he who thinks he can succeed against the tides, and I am that person.

Don't do anything for free.

It could be seen as ultra-cynical but the saying from Yorkshire is true "If thee does ought for nought , make sure thee does it for thee sen."

In layman's lingo, "If you do something for nothing make sure you do it for yourself."

Never a truer word was spoken.I wrote for several anthologies over the last decade, and while other writers were offered contracts and had book sales I got nothing; the only thing the anthology work did was ruin my Amazon ratings.

Before that, he wrote an award-winning book www.amazon.com/dp/B008BEDMSOthat he hoped could be a series of short stories, again awards do not bring sales.In his early career he wrote a highly praised crime fiction story www.draft2digital.com/book/32325 that he hoped would start a series, but despite praises from a police officer in Queensland nothing happened.

Another country and culture is set to fall

All you can do is warn people by telling them what is happening in Europe; I had friends in the USA who said I was not telling the truth about the Muslim invasion, for that is what it is.

That was until three years when I wrote a paid article in which I collected information from sources ranging from Austria to Norway and from Sweden to Spain showing what allowing these Muslims into your country can do. My article was only 20 pages long, as I told my friend I could have gone on a lot longer as the crimes are never ending.

A year ago, the Prime Minister of Norway said if Sweden cannot control their Muslim population she had no option but to close the borders to protect her country.Finland has started a program of expelling thousands of Muslims a week and making it a crime for them to attempt to re-enter the country, it is not racism, it is a desperate action taken to preserve a country's identity.Stockholm was once a pretty city; now it has so many no-go areas a tourist needs a police map to avoid getting attacked, and since the Muslims arrived a decade ago it has become the rape center of Europe.

It was always a dream for romance to see Paris in the Spring, and nowadays, even the French avoid the city as the streets are filled with trash and feces as the invaders will not tidy up after themselves. I pray New Zealand does not allow these people to enter as they will take over as they do NOT accept our values.

I may get the money I have lost returned soon, but I am still going offline in October as I see no point as an entertainer in paying to entertain you with this blog when I don't earn $0.40 a month with my e-books.
